as i can determine, about the only really successful thing that we had going for us was the village pacification program. just about everything else we tried didn't work very well. then we screwed that up by moving the folks who were very effective at guarding their own villages, having help from special forces teams, we tried to move them into more conventional forces and move them to different parts in the country and then they just didn't want to fight there. we've really struggled with the afghan national army. it's really very visible. it's pretty easy for the taliban to avoid them just like it's easy for the taliban to avoid us. what we really need people are -- we need the one-eyed bearded guy that roscoe bartlett was referring to, you know, looking out for us and our interests in the rural areas. and it seems to me that the people who would come to him and say, look, you better not be helping the americans, because when they leave, we're going to cut your head off, he would like to be in a position to say, oh, really? well, here's the way it's going to work. before they leave, i am going
